There are good reasons why people might not want to install each and
every so-called upgrade even if they have broadband. I installed
Microsoft's IE "security upgrade" and now Outlook will not let me
receive EXE attachments even if I know they are safe and need them. MS
says this patch cannot be uninstalled. I will have to uninstall all of
Office 2000, clean out the Registry entries and reinstall Office again
to get this functionality back. Then there is the MS Media Viewer
upgrade that gives MS permission to install programs and upgrades on
your machine without any additional permission. I try to avoid
upgrades unless I know what they do and also know I need them.
